- The Japanese voice for Simon sounds eerily like the English voice for Shinji. If SPike Spencer were Japanese, he would sound like Tetsuya KAKIHARA. Kinda like how there's that one guy who looks like the Japanese Steve Buscemi, ya know?

- More often than not, I encounter a dub script that resembles a fansub script. I don't mean like how the copypasta the dub sript for dual audio .ogm and .mkv files. I mean stuff like, say, ROD the OVA and Ms. Deep saying how her name "sounds like a porn star" in bothe the dub and the fansub. Also, the official subtitle translation sucked in comparison for stuff like flow and dialogue.

That cicada sound was (still is?) the same damn audio track in EVERY FUCKING ANIME I'VE HEARD IT IN!

Much like that high-pitched metallic chirping sound used in conjunction with the Angle Arms and everyone/everything else being perfectly silent. Heard that one in so many old/not so recent anime that I've lost count.

I just chose more minor/incidental characters rather than just using Young Alicia/Akira/Athena or Akari/Aika/Alice, which would work, down to pigtails and dynamic -- possibly even Atora/Ayumi/Anzu. No lack of threes in Aria.
